Eyes of the Intern

Saturday, June 21--12:15 p.m.

I just got done uploading all the videos from today's show. They're under "Boy Scout Saturday." If you watch the videos, you'll understand why. There were boy scouts all over this place this morning! They were very good during the newscast. They were taking tours of the news room. They looked like they were really enjoying themselves.

This morning was pretty busy, but not as hectic as last Saturday. Matt wasn't here today, so I was running to get the guests on my own. I shot the videos in between getting the guests into the studio. I was logged onto the Live WebChat this morning also for a little. My Live WebChat screen name is InternLauren. We only had 12 chatters this morning, which isn't much compared to last Saturday. I think we had around 40 chatters last Saturday. Make sure you log onto www.wkyc.com to chat with us on Saturday mornings during the Weekend Morning Show. We would love to talk to you! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Talk to you next Saturday!

Hey everyone, it's the intern Lauren. This morning was a crazy crazy morning! I'm worn out from running back and forth between Studio A, Studio B and the green room to get the guests. We had the most guests on the show this morning that we've had on a morning show since I've been here. Matt and I were constantly running out of the control room to help the guests in some way. I would go to Studio B and check on those guests while Matt would run into Studio A and check on those guests. Caitlin and Dawn were hard at work in the control room the entire time. It was such a chaotic morning here, but I think Caitlin did a nice job of trying to keep the show go smoothly.


Here's a little bit of what we had to do this morning:

We had to put our first guests in Studio B because it's much bigger than Studio A and can fit more people. These guests were presented checks on our show this morning. They received around $500,000 total to go towards their charities. It was really a great part of the show. There was a lot of emotion in the room and everyone was so happy. Then, we had a doctor on the show. Next was the band, Fab Faux. If you look at the videos on our blog, you can see the band members joining in on a live chat on our website! Viewers and people from the station were logged onto the live chat and were able to talk to them through that. We ended the show with chocolate covered strawberries and strawberry shortcake. Once the show was over, we were eating all the sweets in the news room. My favorite was the chocolate covered strawberries. :) Talk to you next Saturday!
